No, it's really not. All countries, including the US, have their own
top-level domain reflective of their name and/or country code (the US,
unsurprisingly, is .us). The others, including .net, .org, .com, and
newer ones like .info and .biz, are not associated with any particular
nation or language. They're intended for certain classes of
organizations, but even this is rarely *enforced*, with a couple exceptions.
